She was pretty much forced into it by the black knight commander, but ok.
I wouldn't say forced, he didn't threaten her or anything but she was intimidated, and she still took the tiara, I would understand her if she was groomed into doing it or she was threatened but a knight got intimidated cuz he captain looked scary, is a bit too much of a stretch it was mostly the captains fault, and I sympathize with her fear, but as a knight she buckled way too quickly put the tiara on her head, the gesture and her facial expression shows she feels bad for complying and is scared of him what she has become but the action if putting in the tiara and bit just holding shows how her greed was very active in her decision and how she partly genuinely accepted her payment.
What would he have done if she didn't comply though? Like would have just straight up framed her for killing the princess? Idk, I feel like the scary thing about the commander is, she's always done what he wants, so we haven't seen what he does when he doesn't get his way. That scares me.
I honestly don't know and I agree, if he doesn't get what he wants he is probably the devil incarnate, and she is in every way a victim, but it seems this was just the beginning, to where she still obsessed with money despite moral contradictions
It's like he's feeding her greed more and more so she can never go back and will only turn to him. It fucking sucks how he used her poverty. I fucking hate people like him with a passion
Yass I was trying to figure out how to say it but you said it perfectly, you are amazing with words
She was already to obsessed with money so it was particularly easy to make it worse, if she had been less greedy maybe things would have turned out different (not victim blaming, she k ows herself she has done unforgivable things for the sake of money, but she also knows that she is not the sole perpatrator, she was just a tool, she gave him the opportunity to mold into whatever he wanted) it's like a bully making a deal with the devil, the devil preyed on someone more vulnerable to evil deeds and slowly but surely encourages them to go farther, and eventually that bully starts killing people, it's a rough analogy but yeah.
She was trash her first life time sheeesh
